I was told it is considerable but don't know how much yet. Also, they come ONLY in Alcantara and ONLY in Anthracite, just like in the pic above and are bearly being produced right now.

They will most likely be plastic. But, the CF/Plastic difference would be small compared to the savings you will get from stock->plastic. I think there are 6 motors in each stock seat. I would expect total savings in the 80lb-100lb range. Please weigh the new seats before you put them in, and the stock seats when you take them out, and let us know.
It sounds like I might need to drive down to Mexico soon!
How much is the dealer charging you there for the seats?
